The primary aim of the study was to investigate the effect of two different image guidance techniques on patient reported outcome (PRO) using early side effects as proxy outcome of late rectal side effects in patients receiving curative RT for prostate cancer. METHODS: This open label, phase 3...
Radiotherapy for cancer is usually subject to a schedule based on various days and weeks depending on the condition. Every part of the treatment process is referred to as simply ‘fraction’, and these fractions are usually given once in twenty four hours from Monday to Friday with weekends usu...
We argue that the evidence remains insufficient for use of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) in women with early stage breast cancer outside of a clinical trial, as the recently reported TARGIT-A trial does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that IORT is superior to no radiotherapy. Pet...
Radiotherapy is an important therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment through direct damage to cancer cells and augmentation of antitumor immune responses. However, the efficacy of radiotherapy is limited by hypoxia-mediated radioresistance and immunosu

examples of the same preference. For the removal of a small tumor, surgery alone can be efficacious. Radiotherapy is combined with surgery in most cases to minimize tumor size or reduce the chances of the reappearance of cancer so that the patient gets treated well with fewer side effects. ...
We propose an efficiency mathematical approach that includes the radiotherapy effects. Radiotherapy is one of the most commonly used treatments for cancer, and its effectiveness largely depends on the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiation24. We show that the radiotherapy can applied before a ...
